1For students who have not passed or been exempted from the Qualifying English Test at the time of admission to the Faculty, they will have to read ES1000 and/or ES1102.
This will be decided by CELC. The modules carry zero (0) MCs but students will have to pass in order to graduate. Students are recommended to take the English module in
the 1st semester, as ES1102 is a pre-requisite of GEK1549 (formerly EG1413/ES1531) & ES2331.
2GEK1549 is compulsory and has to be counted towards GEM A requirement. For more details, please refer to the section on English Modules at
http://www.eng.nus.edu.sg/ugrad/MS_timetable.html.
3Accredited Polytechnic Direct Entry Students will have to take MA1301 Introductory Mathematics to be counted towards Free Elective.
4Please check the current schedule regularly as there may changes in the term the modules are being offered.
